Plein Air Watercolors: Paint in the Great Outdoors! – with Tina Stevens

During this fun and adventurous workshop we will explore and experiment with painting outdoors. We will begin with a few short demos in the studio and then head outdoors to set up. Tina will be available to help with set ups and getting started.

Painting watercolors outdoors can be challenging, but we will approach it freely using our attention and materials to capture what interests us. We begin with simple pencil lines to define our compositions to help stay focused when looking out at unending space. We can then do some quick studies to get a feel for things; what colors to mix, how the paint dries quicker, the light continuously changes, etc. After that we will select a final composition and begin to work on a full painting.

Watercolor painting materials will be provided (paper, paints, mixing tray, brushes), or you are free to bring your own. You will need to bring the additional supplies for your outdoor set up.

Specific location directions, and outdoor supply list, will be provided after registration.
